The Royal Trek in Annapurna Region

Annapurna Royal Trek is the shortest trek in Annapurna region. This trek was termed as the Royal trek because Prince Charles of United Kingdom and his 90 attendants completed this trial. This trek is less frequently visited but is highly recommended for people who have relatively very limited time in Nepal. Within the short amount of time, people have an opportunity to explore the culture, lifestyle, terrace farms and green landscapes. The trek starts from Pokhara and ends at Begnas Lake which is located 30 kilometers away from city of Pokhara. This route will provide an opportunity to capture the views of Annapurna range and Machhapuchre Mountain (Fish Tail Mountain). The maximum elevation point for this trial is 1730 meters at Syaklung village. This unique trial is best suitable for the beginners and to those who wants to visit the less crowded trekking trial.
